Got a call from our team at Nitro Pit… and they said that Ryan Cavalieri has TQ’d the first round at Nitro Challenge using the Hole Shot VTR M3 tires.

Our friend, Ryan Anderson, son of Monster Truck legend The Grave Digger tested out Pro-Line’s new Sling Shot tires for SC.  Enjoy the video…

 I know it’s a little late but mom always said, “Better late then never.”

We have a great group of people at Pro-Line and I am proud to be a part of the team. This year we decided to do a can food drive for local families at Thanksgiving and the pictures and article are the summary of our efforts…

Our lunchroom turned into a Thanksgiving basket factory.. Our Jessica leading the way with a smile.

Serious assembly and production happening.

The baskets almost complete

The baskets complete.

The Distribution Center.. HELP, INC

The Baskets ready to giveaway at HELP, INC., 100 baskets were distributed by HELP and 72 distributed by other organizations in Banning and Beaumont. Great work to all Pro-Line Teammates that made this possible!

In the end we were able to make and giveaway 172 Thanksgiving baskets! Amazing efforts and joy went into this project. To me this project is a great reminder of other families in need at the holiday season and it’s never to late or to small to give and help others.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Much to be thankful for, Todd

Hole Shot 2.0 President's Sneak Peak

Hey 1/10 Buggy fans, I am sneaking this new Hole Shot 2.0 from my desk.  More info to come 16th – Todd Mattson

Just recovering from a day at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Here are a few highlights. 

 Got to meet Dennis Anderson the driver of Grave Digger. Really cool guy, told me all about his home RC Track and huge R/C monster truck race he puts on at his track called “Digger’s Dungeon”. He told me he owns some Pro-Line monster truck goods and wishes our stuff would fit on Grave Digger (the last parts not really true) but if we made it he would probably have to run it.

P.S. Pro-Line’s working on one of these bodies (CGR Version too!).

One time I was at Silver State I got to go for a ride in Jay Halsey’s (Jammin’ Jay) uncles buggy, have wanted one ever since.

 My name is Todd Mattson, I am the President and owner of Pro-Line and this is my first blog, so go easy on me. We just got back from Chicago and the iHobby Trade Show, this is my 18th year at this show and Pro-Line’s 23rd.

After a 4am wake up call and a 6am flight out of California, we arrived in Chicago on Wednesday afternoon and set up our booth by 7pm. Scott Hughes led the way this year with a new trade show booth design and developed the concept with Daniel Adams back at the office over the last month. The booth went together on-site flawlessly and looked and worked a few hundred times better then our old booth from last year. 

Jessica Kelishes executed and coordinated all of our pre-show efforts and all the details to make it happen. Everything from the displayed items, labels, setup tools, meeting schedules, badges, basically all that stuff that goes into making a great show including the shirts on our backs.

Check out Pro-Line’s scaler accessories on the outside of his Ambush and then Zack used our CGR frame for an inside the body roll cage. Well done!

 Harmony, Jessica, Scott and I represented the company for Thursday and Friday for the first two days with dealers and distributors. Overall we had a great show, great dealers, good times with a number of our key distributors and a strong response from our new releases.

 Harmony, Jessica, Scott, Eric and Brian covered the Consumer days on Saturday and Sunday where they gave away two Slashes outfitted with all the Pro-Line goods to make a killer Baja Bug.  Almost 20,000 people went through the show in those last two days according to the show organizers.

 Excellent Show, great team and work to make it all happen!
